A CSS Grid powered menu with a box look inspired by the effect seen in the “Ableton Live 10: What’s New” video.In right at the beginning: a couple of differently sized boxes slide out and fill the screen. We thought this might be a nice idea applied to a menu using CSS Grid.

REBOUNDGEN calculates springy CSS3 Keyframe animations based on a few simple parameters you define. It uses Facebook’s Rebound.js for the math and outputs SCSS style sheets for each animation. So, you can import just the ones you need. A variety of nice animations can be accomplished using a small set of parameters.

In this tutorial we’ll be creating an eye catching animation, just using SVG paths and CSS transitions. To make things easier, we will also be using Pug and Sass, HTML and CSS preprocessors respectively. They will allow us to write much cleaner and more organized code, and also help with maths.

Rough.js is a light weight (~8k), Canvas based library that lets you draw in a sketchy, hand-drawn-like, style. The library defines primitives to draw lines, curves, arcs, polygons, circles, and ellipses. It also supports drawing SVG paths.
